摘要
The weakest link in the field of petroleum geology has been the research on the natural gas migration. Methane carbon isotope, gas drying coefficient (C1/C1-5), iC4/nC4, non-hydrocarbon gas composition and numbers of tracer gas migration parameters were applied to analyze the migration characteristics of the continental natural gas in Xiaoquan-Xinchang area. The results show that the Xujiahe Formation is adjacent to source rocks where natural gas is accumulated nearby. The formation has unapparent secondary gas migration characteristic. Due to short migration distance, the hydrocarbon generation and expulsion of the source rocks and natural gas reservoir occurred almost at the same time. Jurassic aged gas is the secondary gas pool, whose migration channel is the deep fault belt in the Himalayan Formation. The gas migrated vertically from the Xujiahe Formation to the Jurassic reservoir, and then migrated laterally along the channel sand body from the low potential region of conformation to the high potential region of conformation, and reached the appropriate entrapment for accumulation. The dominating natural gas migration period is the end Late Cretaceous-Paleogene. ©, 2015, University of Petroleum, China. All right reserved.
